This tattoo cost $60 for 10 minutes of work. Why is it expected of me to tip? My girlfriend got a small heart on her tit the same day and it was $60 for 2 minutes of work. She kept asking me how much to tip. As if it was a sin not to. That's $120 in 12 minutes. And I'm expected to tip?

Her tattoo

why the fuck have you gone and got an edgy tattoo of some straight lines, youre gonna look like every other white girl with your unimaginative copypasta.

also, line in the top right is hella crooked, you shouldnt tip or even pay a single dollar for this scratched job

Who the fuck tips for tattoos? You pay em to do work, the fuck would you tip em for?

No.
Why the fuck would you be expected to tip?
Also, faggot tattoo.

That is some pretty shoddy line work. Wouldn't fucking pay shit for that. I've seen scratchers doing tatts for a tenner that can do better lines. Also, your gf is a fucking whore. Kys

It's an origami swan

Your GF is a whore

I bet you have heaps of shit tattoos faggot

This is what's wrong with SJWs.. "Meh it should cost less.. Meh shekels. Redistribute the wealth meh".

...

Is that in your armpit?

I love you user

Fucking dumbass do you even know how much it costs to run a tattoo shop? Ink and needles have a price you know. You're the idiot who wants to have faggot ass tattoos, you both got charged for good and you should have tipped 30% you cheap ass fucks

Haha it's funny because it says gay nigger

Not op so I dunno

Shitty fucking origami tattoo. Fuck tipping, people shouldn't be expected to give out money for any reason.

In Canada it's pretty common to tip after your tattoo if you feel they did a really good job. I kinda disagree with the practice because I figure im paying you I don't tip the roofer or the carpenter after they complete their jobs

nice

Whose fucking fault is that? They decided to open a shop, maybe do better work and more people would come.

Haha didnt even know this shit and ive contemplated getting into tattoo work.

>my shitty tattoo work is worth $100 plus tip plus sexual favor PER LINE
Why do tattoofags pretend their job is hard?

Show more of her tits

You're stupid enough to get a tattoo so they figure you're dumb enough to tip for it.

The price isn't for just the time you're in the chair- it's the overhead for supplies and equipment and the facility and choosing/customizing the design and placement, etc

>Uneducated fag detected

Is this a paperplane gone wrong?

tipping in general is retarded
i only "tip" in pubs because i dont want small coins in my wallet

Do you Americans like tipping, what if that was included on the price?

Classy

I don't like it. That's why I made this thread. Its a cancerous culture

In the sense that only I can see it? I agree

Yeah right?
It's simpler to just be included on the price and if one customer wants to give more, he does

tipping a waiter makes sense, tipping someone that gets paid more than $20 an hour is fucking dumb.

Just tip your fedora and leave

when you're american you tip for example in restaurant because the waiter are often paid shitty or aren't paid at all. so the tip is part of their income.
but why shoud yoou tip a tattooer? he already set the price.
btw faggy tattoo done in a shitty way.

>giving individuals money who serve you personally is cancerous
>giving people money

You are a cheap faggot and your children will remember you for being a cheap faggot at your funeral

>already gave them money
>they are doing their job

I think the cancerous part that he means is that in the US, you "need" to tip, rather than being a "thank you"

how does tipping a waiter make sense? they have a job to deliver my food.. they get paid for said job by the employer.. not me..

lol you really think she wont show anyone else this tattoo?

>when you're american you tip for example in restaurant because the waiter are often paid shitty or aren't paid at all. so the tip is part of their income.

also checked

Tipping a waiter makes sense because they literally survive on tips. They get paid a fraction (it's $2-something in the state I live in) of what other food service employees get, if you don't tip, they're likely to not make rent. It's absurd and needs to be abolished, but because tipping is expected in the US, it stays around. Because it stays around, they get paid less. And because they get paid less, you're expected to tip. See the issue?

>pay someone for their service
>HEY YOU DIN PAY ENUFF
>then why don't you charge more?
>HURR DURR MUH DICK MUH ART

If you stop tipping all over the country, the employers will have to pay like normal people.

sucks to wait on me then, because i wont tip you for doing your job.. if you get to know me personally and remember me when i come in, then you get a tip.

They won't, though, because America worships capitalism. Even if everyone stopped tipping, employers would just say that's how it goes, not everyone tips.
Then there's people like this so understand the problem but would rather simply exacerbate the issue than move toward a solution, because "not my problem fuck face"

yeah, he had some real design and customization with that idiotic tattoos.

He was being sarcastic. There's nothing classy about a badly done tattoo of a heart on a breast.

It's definitely complex, that's why the government would definitely do this right. I mean, that's how the rest of the world acts.

>nigger detected

Do you at least tell them upfront that you're not going to tip so they're not busting their ass for no reason?

You are expected to tip for making him do such a shit tattoo.

LOL bust their ass for no reason, you mean do their job they signed up for? if they wanted more money maybe they should find somewhere else to work?

>busting their ass for no reason
>what is a paycheck

>busting their ass
Literally all they are doing is writing, chicken sandwich, drop off a coca cola at table, drop off chicken sandwich at table, thank me for coming in.

>2.15/hour is a paycheck

This is why I quit serving after a month in a majority black area

Its 12 minutes because of the expertise & level of quality of he artist.

Quality of service is what you tip for.

Tattoo shop owner here. No tipping allowed in my shop. The tip is in the price.

Okay. You are one of these.
Not even gonna try to talk to a faggot of this caliber.

Tipping is fucking stupid
>inb4 cheap nigger jew stingy cunt
Fuck anyone who pushes this fucking tip culture, if waiters wanted actual money they'd fuck off and get a real job, not my fucking business to tip these begging cunts

This is bait. Odds are that was done by an amateur with their own gun

It's probably a fine for having a somewhat pointless and meaningless looking tattoo, in your girlfriends case its a fine for having a generic tattoo.

I see you uploaded an actual picture of yourself there, grandpa. Lemme guess, uphill both ways in the snow to get to school, right?
Some people can't GET other jobs. College kids, people who COULDN'T get higher education due to being poor, or not quite studious enough to get a scholarship. But we should punish them with two bucks an hour jobs, right?

its fine, nothing you can say will change my mind.. if i go somewhere and pay 30-40$ or so for dinner dont expect me to tip the guy dropping off the food. its the job that he or she chose.. i do not feel guilty about how much they make.. its also NOT my responsibility to pad their income.

you'd think that was already included in the price of the job, you fucking highschool dropout thundernigger

>fuck off and find a real job

>COULDN'T get higher education due to being poor
hahahahhahahahahahahha what about not living in a retarded country and having free education?
americans are so funny man
my sides are in orbit every time they cry because they cant get education or medial care because they are poor

They both have meaning. But dates and names and RIP tattoos are so over done. These are our first tattoos and they were walk ins. I drew mine up while we were waiting.

So you're into ethics? Maybe ethically sourcing your 'dining out' experiences and so forth. Boycott poor wage paying establishments. Vote with your feet and only frequent places that pay a decent wage to their staff.

So what happens when nobody wants to do that job because people like you make it toxic and unable to support them? Where will you get your microwaved steak then? Since you're only paying $40 for dinner it's clear you've never been anywhere that serves real food, a proper restaurant (y'know, with a dress code) has waitstaff that do way more than just plop your plate down. You saying you won't tip them either? They bust their ass to pamper you

while I think tipping is stupid, let me clear up one misconception.

it isn't $120 for 12 minutes. It's $120 for 12 minutes plus years of experience.

I've seen tattoos as simple as yours given to tattooists with only a few years of experience and they look like shit.

It's a shame my state is a shithole. The Outback in my town pays $4/hour to waitstaff, and unless you go to the Islands where the black tie restaurants are that's literally the best server wage in town. America is a toxic workplace, and a toxic society, as you can see in this thread

...

It's a service industry you cheap fuck, do you not tip when you go to diners? All shops have minimums and hourly rates that's a common minimum. You should have known what to pay before hand for that hipster trash. Also a clean and sterile set up cost money you didn't get recycled shit used all day like in 1950, the artist usually keeps between 40 and 50 percent if they don't own the shop.

In ending
>fuck you

Wow that's some generic trash with shitty line work. I hope she knows she's the creative equivalent of a stock image in powerpoint

"not living in a shit country" isn't often an option either. Most voters have mindset, and think hard work will fix all your problems. They vote against the things that improve everyone's quality of life, because it's not their problem.

WHY should I support the server?? i didn't hire him or her.. i didn't wake up one day and decide to go work at a restaurant.. its not my restaurant they work at.. they set a price for food.. if that doesnt earn the place enough money to make ends meet and pay the staff, its not my problem.

I pity the poor fucks that have to work in a country where everybody thinks paying waiters/cleaning staff and the like fuck-all because "they'll get tips" while on the other hand never tipping because "it's already expensive, why the F should I give them money for doing their jobs?

What a fucking joke.

I paid 60 for mine and didn't tip. Dont be a pussy m8

Because it's not a matter of not making enough to make ends meet or support the staff. The government literally says "you can pay servers way less because they get tips." What aren't you getting about this?

Don't tip those cunts. They are over paid. Don't fall for there bulshit stories of equipment costing heaps to replace each time

sucks when stupid people scream "communism" at everything that is just slightly socialistic

'Murica

Thats what you came up with as a rememberance tattoo for somebody, who died? Porygon?

AAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Porygon would've been better to be honest.

Then charge a service fee or get fucked

but youre a nigga man, its good to know you at least didnt stole it

Hahaha, as delusional as Dumbo after a trip in the barrel.

tipping is retarded, the person is getting paid anyway, I'm not their employer, if I go to a restaurant I'm paying for the food, the employer pays for the work, maybe its just cause I'm Aussie and we never tip but to me its stupid

like i said before, its not my job to supplement their income for doing their job they got hired for.. perhaps they should start a union or something for servers and waitresses and go after the government.

Used to help my brother run a parlour, would not expect a tip at all regardless of the piece but it is an expensive shop to run.

For hygenic reasons, any ink poured and any needle used simply cannot be re-used. Even drawing one line would see you paying something that seems ridiculous.

Most people tipped after a solid several hour session purely because they are on a buzz from the adrenaline of getting a sweet piece done, but truthfully we already made our money.

Difference is that a waiter or waitress is not drawing something PERMANENT on your body. The tattoos in this thread should not cost $60, here in UK those would cost like £20 ($24.98) and no need to tip here.

Small tattoos like these are supposed to sucker you in to getting bigger ones, get you addicted to ink so that you spend more and more money there, American Tattoo artists fail to understand that clearly.

>tips make people feel good

If you added all the tips you ever have given and multiplied it by 2, how much of a cheap faggot are you?

It's because you are an Aussie

>Australian myself

Dude what is wrong with giving someone a few extra bucks

For such a racist board the majority of you act like niggers refusing to tip and "working the system" it a small tip you fucking chimps.

this. if you get an edgy ass tattoo at least go full autist. I bet my dick that OP doesn't even fold origami the cheap nigger

Cause its all they can do in life. They dont want people to know its easy or trhy may lose their meal ticket.

Ive jizzed better looking art onto the homeless

I now want OP to make an Origami faggot.

If i roll dubs, OP has to make Origami faggot.

Who's the nigger, nigger?
We can't all have that crack-rock money, y'know

You shouldn't have to tip at all for that, but at the same time needles charges for artists are not cheap, generally around 40 dollars. You can't use needles more than once so the artist is only making 20 dollars on both your trash ass tats
